please do not georgia my florida. >> please do not georgia my florida. what did you think of that, al? >> well, look, the truth of the matter in all of this is that both sides are right in their arguments. one, florida's laws, even after this new legislation, are still better than some democrat states, which need to look out after themselves, like colorado, new york. at the same time, we had almost a perfect election last time. there weren't any irregularities. so why tinker with it is my point of view. in florida, you've got 66 constitutionally elected supervisors of elections who have -- you know, you like to get their input on the matter. i don't think they really needed a change or wanted a change, but, you know, my personal feelings, as much as can you facilitate people voting legally, the more of it, the better. so be it. we'll see what happens. clearly it's going to be challenged in court on constitutional grounds. although a challenge is going to have some tough time going at it since there are other states that have more restrictive laws. >> ana

in travel in florida compared to 2020.e need clear policy coronation between agencies like the cdc, osha, and timely guidance. recent changes in the cdc guidance will provide development to members. but the swiftness of the changes with many businesses scrambling to interpret the new guidance and assess the impact. even today, guidance from the cdc department of transportation and osha has gained in complexity. florida and much of the nation is experiencing a lumber shortage. that's key to the hospitality industry. many members are experiencing this in part because of the continued data of state unemployment benefits and federal unemployment relief programs. governor desantis has directed reinstating the work search requirement at the end of this. labor shortages are not new, by 2029, only 20% of -- have participated in the labor force. this is down from 1978 with the shortage driving up supplies and demands and businesses have adapted to compete for talent. even wages are --, offering a 100% increase from $10 to $20 per h

joining us now is florida congressman charlie crist, he is a democrat but had been florida's attorneyernor as republican he is currently running as a democrat to unseat ron desantis next year. congressman crist, welcome. >> great to be with you, my fellow floridian. >> it's a weird florida who covered you ascongressman. can you give me your take on this voting bill? because i don't get it. you know florida politics as well as i do if not better. florida is a very strong republican, political state, not solidly, but republicans do very well in florida. so i don't understand tactically why you would even need a law to change the voting rules for any logical reason, especially if you are republican governor, like what sense does this make to you? >> none. i couldn't agree with you more, joshua. it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. they do have the house of representatives in tallahassee the state senate and obviously the governor's mansion at present. but you know, you have to look at what they're maybe concerned about. maybe they're concerned that this is going to be a closer election

trump carried florida twice. ron desantis is considered a contender for 2024, at the top or bottom of the ticket. and matt gaza and margie taylor green is there to rally the base and gaetz is making light of the investigation he's in the middle of. let's listen to that and get your comment on it. >> i'm a marked man in congress. i'm a canceled man in some corners of the internet. i may be a wanted man by the deep state. but i'm a florida man and it is good to be home. >> what is going on in florida, congressman crist. >> well, i'm running for governor of florida and that's the other thing that's going on in our state and i think it's important that we understand that governor desantis signed the other day, you referenced it earlier, a bill to really suppress the vote in the sunshine state, to really make it difficult to use mail-in ballots. that really attacks our seniors in the sunshine state. my dad's 88. my mother's 86. they love to vote by mail. this bill is going to only make it more difficult to do that in

i mean, you know, former president trump won florida.important is you are right. i remember when jeb bush was governor when i was the attorney general of the state. at that time mail-in balloting, absentee voting was very popular among the republican leadership. it was very effective for everyone, and it is very effective now for democrats, too. we've kind of caught on to what was going on, and i think about 600,000 more democrats voted by mail-in ballot this past november, and i think it is really what is motivating this. i think governor desantis is trying to suppress the vote for the 2022 reelection that he seeks, but i don't think it is going to work. i think people understand when you are trying to, you know, put your finger on the scale and make an unfair -- i don't get angry very often, ali, but a couple of things frustrate me a lot. one of them is unfairness, and this is clearly unfair. the other thing that upsets me is arrogance. i think it is arrogant, it is unfair, it is wrong. floridians are smart. they understand what is goi

and there were no problems in florida. florida was a model.ow, in an election that went on for days and days, florida had a call, not the call i wanted, but they had a call pretty early on election night, frankly. and so all of this is a way to maybe on the margins clamp down the democratic vote. a vote -- voters of color, younger voters, maybe voters who are off at college that use mail-in ballots, while mostly putting on a pr stunt that helps to continue the mythology around the big lie. and that is, i think, the real problem here. is that you see that for republican politicians to stay in good standing with their voters, they need to go along with this myth that the election was somehow fraudulent and something needs to be done to make their voters feel better, when, you know, all of that is nonsense. all of that is putting feelings over their facts. it's not what how conservative guidance should go. ron mentioned 2000, the state of florida made changes because they needed to make changes in 2000. so we've seen the positive results of that

florida is a global travel destination. as governor i tried to make it a number one travel destination in the entire world and my biggest competition, of course, was vegas. people from all over the world come to enjoy our beaches, attractions and all our state has to offer. as governor we worked hard to grow our tourism industry. by the way, you can win the best state parks every six years. there's only one state in the united states who has ever won it twice. there's only one state that's won it three times, and it's the great state of florida. it's unfortunate what's happening with the pandemic, because i think it has had the biggest impact on travel and tourism in any industry of the country and has hurt a lot of people that rely on -- they don't have a guaranteed salary. they're reliant on people showing up and tips and things like that. i've had the opportunity to work across the aisle on several bills. i help try to keep our families safe and be able to get us back to work as quickly as possible. last week, my biparti
